Movie Description This rare footage of one of the most innovative, entertaining, and progressive bands of the 1980s features Devo at its automoton best, playing at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California. The 1980 concert featured all the songs that garnered the band its well-deserved attention. On offer is the synth-driven, electro pop sound developed by Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale to express the de-evolution they saw in the increasingly alienating world around them, populated by humans of an ever more herd-like mentality. With songs like "Whip It," "Girl U Want," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," Devo knew how to make a statement while making its audience get up and dance.
